牧师和专属祭司们往往会因恐惧失去施法能力而担心进入 荒宇wildspace。其实对这点无需再有疑问。当然,当牧师或是祭司进入太空时,他们神明的神力的确会发生一些改变,但多数时候,这些改变还没到让角色感到沮丧的地步。
Clerics and specialty priests tend to worry about heading into wildspace because they fear the loss of their spell casting abilities. There no longer need be any doubt. Granted, when a cleric or priest heads in space, some of the powers of their gods do change, but for the most part, the changes are not drastic enough to warrant any frustration from the character.
有些改变是积极的,但偶尔,神力可能会有所削弱、乃至消失——尤其是在祭司们进入 燃素海the phlogiston、与其神明失去一切接触的时候。在进入到晶壁系中时,某一角色是否会与他的神明完全而彻底的分离?接下来的章节将详述:魔法船牧师与专属祭司在荒宇中时,诸神与他们的关系、以及诸神本身。
Often these changes are positive, but occasionally, the powers can wane somewhat, or even disappear, especially when the priest heads out into the phlogiston and loses all touch with his god. Is there ever a complete and total separation between god and character while inside the crystal sphere? This next chapter describes the gods and their relationships with spelljamming clerics and specialty priests while in wildspace.

混沌海半神力Demipower of Limbo
这位女神在 托瑞尔星球Toril 的卫星 塞伦涅星球Selûne 上信徒最为集中。她无法将超过3级的法术传递给晶壁系外的信徒。在 燃素海phlogiston 中施法则是不可能的。
This goddess' greatest concentration of worshippers is on Selûne, Toril's moon. She is unable to transmit spells greater than 3rd level to her followers outside the sphere. Spell casting in the phlogiston is impossible.

蕾拉Leira(读作“LAlR-uh”),迷雾女士the Lady of the Mists,她是欺骗与幻觉女神,也是幻术师和骗子的守护神。她少有世俗信徒,毕竟除了幻术师,罕有人能从误解与欺骗中获益;不过,有很多泛信者会在作重大决定和判断前向她顶礼膜拜,来防范或安抚她。无人曾一睹她的庐山真面,她也从未在(未经审查的)宗教艺术作品中露过面。代表她的一直是漩涡状的灰雾——有时隐约呈现为人形,而她的有角祭坛上方也不会有任何图像。她被认为发明了幻术魔法的书面语言——罗斯利克文Ruathlek。
Leira (LAlR-uh), the Lady of the Mists, was the goddess of deception and illusion and the patroness of illusionists and liars. Few people other than illusionists saw profit in misunderstanding and deception, so she had few lay worshipers, though many casual worshipers paid her homage to ward her off or placate her before important decisions and judgments were made. Her true appearance was never known, and she was never depicted in (uncensored) religious art. Swirling gray mists— sometimes in a vaguely humanoid form—were always shown to represent her, and her horned altars framed no image above them. She is credited with inventing the language of Ruathlek, the written tongue of illusionary magic.
虽然各种反诉和声明云山雾里,但蕾拉在 动荡之年the Time of Troubles 死在了 希瑞克Cyric 和 马斯克Mask(以 神灾剑Godsbane 的形态)之手。马斯克将她出卖给了希瑞克,这位女神的神职也因此被希瑞克收入了囊中。蕾拉的教会仍在运转,她们的祭司也在得授法术,但这些都是希瑞克假冒蕾拉之名授予的,尽管 蕾拉教徒Leiran 要么不知道,要么干脆不在乎。
Despite a fog of counterclaims and declarations, Leira perished shortly after the Time of Troubles at the hands of Cyric and Mask (in the form of Godsbane). Mask betrayed her to Cyric, and the goddess's portfolio was subsumed by Cyric. Churches of Leira still operate, and their priests receive spells, but these are granted by Cyric in the guise of Leira, although the Leiran either do not know (most of them) or do not care.
蕾拉是个谜,她的一言一行都被层层的幻象与虚假掩盖。然而,她并非一位积极的恶毒神力,而众所周知,她位于 混沌海Limbo 的神国那些个不请自来的访客,通常会被困住或控制,而非像大部分邪恶或急躁的神力手中被原子化。她对自己人丁稀薄的追随者规模感到满足,并无什么宏图大志。在个人层面而言,她是位非常内向的神力,她唯一维持的短暂友谊就是马斯克,然则也正是他的背叛令蕾拉丧命于渴望力量的希瑞克之手。<br /
Leira was an enigma since she covered everything she did and said with layers of illusion and falsehood. She was not an actively malicious power, however, and it is known that those few who managed to visit her realm in Limbo uninvited were normally trapped or restrained rather than simply being atomized, as is the practice of most evil or impatient powers. She was apparently content with her small following and had no great and glorious plans or ambitions. On a personal level, she seems to have been a very private power, and the only passing friendship she maintained was with Mask—who treacherously betrayed her to her death at the hands of power-hungry Cyric.
她与施法者的守护神 阿祖斯Azuth 有着正式的合作关系,与之相对,她对追寻真相的 提尔Tyr 感到反感。
She had a formal, cooperative relationship with Azuth, patron of spellcasters, and was disliked by Tyr, who pursues justice through truth.
蕾拉的化身Leira's Avatar
(幻术师Illusionist 30,巫师Mage 22,牧师Cleric 16,盗贼Thief 10)
蕾拉的真容不为人所知。大部分资深神职人员和圣书都说她罕见以同样的形态出现两次,但历代对她的记述中,经常出现的形象是一位非常高挑、纤细的女性,有着一头烟色的长发、身着一袭散发着雾气的长袍。据说她有着一对闪闪发光的漆黑双眸,而且非常大,似乎能看透任何凡物并“洞悉一切”(或者至少是让凡人感觉她能做到)。蕾拉始终是一位难打交道的危险神祇,但她的欺诈本性的本质上是任性,而非恶意或是对邪恶的蓄意隐瞒。她热衷于以撩人心魄的形象挑逗凡人,因此常呈现为娇媚动人的女性或英俊潇洒的男性。
The true appearance of Leira is unknown. Most senior clergy members and holy writings say she seldom looked the same way twice, but a recurring figure in accounts of her down the ages was that of a very tall, very thin woman with long smoke-hued hair and robes that exuded mists. Her eyes were said to be black, glistening, and very large—seeming to bore through any mortal and "see all" (or at least make mortals feel that she did). Leira was always a dangerous deity to cross, but her deceptions were essentially capricious, not works of malice or deliberate attempts to conceal evil. She liked to tantalize, appearing to mortals as beings who attracted them, and because of this often appeared as a comely, beckoning female or heroic-looking, handsome male.
只要情形方便,蕾拉似乎更喜欢显现为女性。蕾拉可以施展来自任何领域,以及幻术、变化、低级和高级预言、附魔/魅惑、以及咒法/召唤学派的法术。她偏爱使用幻术,理所当然的,她不能使用 真知术true seeing。
Leira seemed to prefer a feminine appearance whenever convenient for her purposes. Leira could draw spells from any sphere and from the schools of illusion, alteration, lesser and greater divination, enchantment/charm, and conjuration/summoning. She preferred using illusions, of course, and could not use true seeing.

特殊攻击/防御Special Att/Def:
蕾拉从不进行肉搏战(当然如果她想的话,想打自然也是能打的)。在施展任何幻术/幻象法术时,她的施法等级视作翻倍。她自动、无意识、持续不断地无效化了其360呎半径之内,所有人因高智力或感知属性而获得的对幻术和其它法术的免疫(哪怕是诸神亦不能幸免于难,不过祂们的魔抗和任何适用的豁免调整仍然生效)。除了能在不进行物理攻击的情况下一轮施展2道法术外,她还能额外施展一道幻术/幻象法术;即便是在她用完了正常的法术数量(见上)之后,她仍可利用这项能力继续每轮施展一道幻术/幻象法术。她所施放的幻术总是如此的完美,就好像她一生都在致力于研究它一样(她也的确如此)。
Leira was never known to attack hand-to-hand, although she certainly could if she so desired. Leira cast all illusion/phantasm spells as if she were double her level. She automatically, unconsciously, and constantly negated all immunity to illusions and other spells caused by high Intelligence or Wisdom ability scores within a 360-foot-radius of her (even the immunities of other deities, although they still received their magic resistance and any applicable saving throws). In addition to casting two spells in a round if she made no physical attacks, she had the ability to cast any illusion/phantasm spell; she could use this ability to continue to cast an illusion/phantasm spell once a round even after she ran out of her normal number of spells (given above). The illusions she cast were always perfect, as if she had studied her subjects all her life (which she had).
蕾拉不会被以任何幻术、任何欺骗感官、以一种形式掩盖另一种形式、或试图粉饰令某些物品无法被侦测(隐形、沉默等等)的魔法、或是隐形能力愚弄过。只要她愿意,她可以 变形shape change 为任何形态,并可使用该形态的完整能力与她自己的一切能力(例如,她不受所采取形态的自然阵营倾向的影响)。她在任何形态都能以24的速度飞行,并可呈现为薄雾的形态以最高24的移动速度随心所欲地飞行或飘移。
Leira was never fooled by any illusion or any sort of magic that deceived the senses, masked one form with another, or attempted to render something undetectable (unseeable, unhearable, etc.) or invisible. She could shape change into any form for as long as she wished and use both the complete capabilities of that shape and her own abilities (without being affected by the natural tendencies of the form she took in alignment, for instance). She could fly in any form at MV 24, and she could also assume the form of a cloud of mist that flew or drifted as she wished at up to MV 24.
蕾拉对所有幻术/幻象完全免疫,即使是其他神祇创造的也是如此。她免疫所有 魅惑 和 定身 效果。在面对所有攻击时,她都如同身披一袭 移位斗篷displacement。
Leira was totally immune to all illusion/phantasms, even those created by other deities. She was also immune to all charm and hold effects of any sort. All attacks against her were made as if she were wearing a cloak of displacement.
其祂显现Other Manifestations
蕾拉通常显现为一团灰色的烟雾,通常伴有一对刺眼的黑眼睛,或仅仅是带着一种被强烈注释的感觉,外加一段不知从何而来的音乐,曲调刺耳、怪异而突兀(无调、甚至无节奏)。在薄雾或烟气中,可以听到蕾拉之声——有时只有她的信徒才能听见,而在场的其他人则两耳不闻。
Leira usually manifested as gray, smokelike mists, often accompanied by two piercing black eyes or simply the sensation of being intensely watched, and by a chiming, unearthly, apparently random music that came out of nowhere and seemed unconcerned with anything (such as forming a tune, or even a rhythm). In mists or smoke, Leira could be heard as a disembodied voice, sometimes perceived only by those who worship her and not by other beings who were present.
蕾拉也借由以下存在活动:水神怪marid、变形怪doppleganger、mimic、鬼火will-o'-wisp、隐形潜伏怪invisible stalkers、格莱石人galeb duhr、闪现犬blink dog、以及生前是幻术师的智慧不死生物。更常见的情况是,她会派遣一些表面上看是别的东西的玩意、会说话的绵羊、花花绿绿的猫猫狗狗(粉绿蓝橙紫)、会说话或是会飞的猪、会说话的巨兔或者小马,除了被派帮忙的人之外,其余之人皆不可见,巨型山猫、勿忘我forget-me-not、黄铁矿pyrites、沙博思石sarbossa、赛黄晶Irtios、廉石ziose、贝裘里宝石beljuril、碧玺tourmaline、能言猫头鹰talking owl 和 恶鹳Eblis 则表达了她的好感并被作为激励其信徒的标志。
Leira also acted through the appearance or presence of marids,dopplegangers,mimic, will-o'-wisps, invisible stalkers, cloud dragons, mist dragons, displacer beasts, galeb duhr, blink dogs, and intelligent undead creatures who were former illusionists. More commonly she sent something that superficially looked like something else, talking sheep, outrageously colored cats and dogs (pink, green, blue, orange, purple), talking or flying pigs, giant talking rabbits or ponies who were invisible to anyone but those they were sent to help, giant lynxes, forget-me-nots, pyrites, sarbossas, irtioses, zioses, beljurils, tourmalines, talking owls, and eblis to show her favor and as a sign to inspire her faithful.

蕾拉教会的组织机构由牧师、专属祭司和幻术师组成。蕾拉教派Leiran 每种神职人员的确切人数、以及神职人员总数都不得而知,因为该信仰的成员热衷于在信条、组织、人数和力量方面撒谎。据不完全统计,牧师、专属祭司和幻术师的比例约为20:40:35。神职人员之间的关系良好——当然这主要是没人完全知道发生了什么。
The church of Leira has clerics, specialty priests, and illusionists in its organization. Exact numbers of each kind of clergy and the total number of Leiran clergy members are unknown because members of the faith cheerfully lie about its tenets, organization, numbers, and powers. An extremely loose estimation places the ratio of clerics, specialty priests, and illusionists at 20/45/35. Relations between the various members of the clergy are good, mainly because no one knows fully what is going on.
蕾拉教派的神职人员(所有种类)的称呼随心所欲,其正式头衔则因时因人而异。
Leiran clergy members (of all kinds) are called whatever they choose to be called, and official titles vary from day to day and from person to person.
冠冕堂皇的头衔之后往往是误导性的头衔,本旬的高阶教皇下旬又变成了助祭。这些疯狂而多变、浮夸而愚蠢、轻浮而明显虚假的头衔从 天地至高领主Supreme High Lord of the Heights and Depths 到 至圣排水沟清扫者Most Holy Guttersweeper 不一而足。在该信仰中,专属祭司被称为 唤雾者mistcallers,以此将她们的能力与牧师和幻术师区分开来,但在被公开问及其职责和职位时,她们的头衔与其他同侪一样多样而多变。
Pompous titles are often followed by misleading ones, and this tenday's high pontiff is next tenday's acolyte. This wild, constantly changing array of grandiose, silly, frivolous, and obviously spurious titles ranges from Supreme High Lord of the Heights and Depths to Most Holy Guttersweeper. Within the faith, specialty priests are known as mistcallers to distinguish their capabilities from those of clerics and illusionists, but they sport the same diverse and ever-changing titles as others of their kind when asked publicly what their duties and positions are.
那些说谎成瘾之人和幻术从业者(无论是魔法还是非魔法的)都崇拜着女士,许多聪明的盗贼亦是如此,但大多数人只是为了安抚她而献祭。在其他时候,这些人会对她的教会报以彻底的不信任——这是一种审慎的判断。唯一能确认蕾拉祭司说真话的时候,就是两个“以雾影女士之名By the Mistshadow”的短语之间的发言,不过,她信任了某个人的可靠标志是撒一堆一戳就破的弥天大谎,而非半真半假的谎言——就像 表里比兴之道the Faith That is Not What It Seems 之人经常做的那样。(雾影The Mistshadow 是蕾拉的秘讳之一,仅为她的信徒所知晓。)
Compulsive liars and workers of illusions, both magical and otherwise, venerate the Lady, as do many wise thieves, but most other folk only make offerings to placate her. They otherwise mistrust her church entirely—a prudent judgment. The only time one can be sure that a priest of Leira is telling the truth is any words spoken between two utterances of the phrase "By the Mistshadow," although a sure sign that she trusts someone is that she employs huge, impossible lies without a shred of plausibility rather than the sinister misleading half-truths that the folk of the Faith That is Not What It Seems usually deal in. (The Mistshadow is one of Leira's secret names, known only to her faithful.)
虔诚的 蕾拉教徒们Leirans 并不忧心女神已逝,因为死亡是一种幻觉,要么最初的蕾拉是一种幻觉,要么谣传取代了蕾拉的希瑞克可能是一种幻觉。教会的官方声明声称没有任何麻烦,蕾拉在 诸神之战the Godswar 中脱身后已经比以前更强大了。然而,由于大多数官方声明都是谎言,所以大部分人相信她已经消逝,尽管她的大量信徒(主要是那些善良和中立的信徒)仍坚定的认为她还没有死。自诸神之战以后,她就再也未以化身形式出现过,但即使是在她的教会也不能肯定的说她在 动荡之年the Time of Troubles 前出现过,毕竟每个自称是蕾拉化身的家伙都各不相同。当然,她没有辜负祭司们的期望,仍在授予她们习惯接受的法术或能力。
Devout Leirans are unconcerned that the goddess may be dead, since that death may be an illusion, the original Leira may be an illusion, or Cyric, slyly rumored to have replaced Leira, may be an illusion. Official statements by the church say there is no trouble and Leira emerged from the Godswar more powerful than before. However, given the fact that most official statements are lies, most people believe her dead, though large numbers of her faithful (mainly those of good and neutral alignment) steadfastly are holding to the belief that she is not. She has not been definitely seen in avatar form since the Godswar, but then even her church could not definitely say she had ever been seen before the Time of Troubles, since every form that has appeared claiming to be an avatar of Leira has been different. She certainly has not failed in granting the spells or abilities her priests are accustomed to receiving to them.
蕾拉的神殿又偏又少。大多是些半开放式小型古典建筑,有着大圆柱和柱廊,以及一间宽阔的内部圣所,仪式在低矮、平坦的矩形祭坛之前举行,祭坛上有角、或者是从它们的桌角伸出向上弯曲的金属角模仿品。在任何位置都没有蕾拉的图像或雕像来为圣所增添光彩。蕾拉的神殿经常充满了白色的薄雾,这些雾气通常保持在脚踝的高度,但如果神殿的高阶祭司/女祭司愿意,薄雾可以升起来充满整个房间,并变厚以遮挡视线。
Temples of Leira are few and far between. Most are small, partially open structures of classical construction with large columns and porticos and a wide inner sanctum where services are held before low, flat, rectangular altars with horns or imitation horns of metal curving upward from their corners. No images or statues of Leira grace the sanctuary anywhere. Leira's temples are constantly filled with a light white mist that normally remains at ankle height but can rise to fill the room and thicken to obscure vision if the high priest or priestess of the temple desires.
教义Dogma:
蕾拉教徒相信,女士可以是任何东西、任何地方,但事实并非如此。她们被教导日世界各地的人们怀疑他们的信仰和所见,以恢复世界的 神圣之谜Holy Mystery。蕾拉信徒既要给予,也要索取,既要唤起希望,也要粉碎希望。哪怕是在无法说假话时,蕾拉教徒也不能说真话,而如果说谎更好的时候,她们也不能说半真半假的话。她们应当尽可能只对蕾拉的信徒说真话。
Leirans believe that the Lady can be anything, anywhere, that is not what it seems. They are taught to make folk everywhere doubt what they believe and see in order to restore Holy Mystery to the world. Leirans are to give as well as take, to raise hope as well as dashing hopes. Leirans must never tell the truth when less can do and never use a half-truth when a lie would serve better. They should speak truth whenever possible only to fellow worshipers of Leira.
该信仰的初修士被女神的迷雾驱使如下:“女士从来不是你想象的那样。真相是毫无价值的东西,更不值得大声说出来。当谎言就足够时,绝不要说真话。珍视并促进幻觉与谣言,因为扭曲和传说是让人们快乐、为生活增添乐趣的东西。把东西藏起来,通过藏匿的行为为它赋予价值。”
Novices in the faith are charged by the whispering mists of the goddess that: "The Lady is never quite what you think she is. Truth is a worthless thing to know and worth even less to speak aloud. Never speak truth when falsehood will suffice. Cherish and further illusions and rumors, for distortion and legend are what make folk happy and life alluring. Hiding a thing gives it value by the very act of cloaking."
日常活动Day-to-Day Activities:
蕾拉的神职人员靠散布虚假的谣言——以及如果她们可以的话,制造幻觉——来换取报酬。她们被要求通过鼓励(然后揭露)谬信、制造骗局等等方式,让各地的人怀疑真相。蕾拉教徒是伪装大师,她们出租和出售服装,并(收取高昂的费用)为每个想要化妆的人上妆(通常是些惹上了麻烦的人)。她们也会通过受雇成为演员来帮助他人进行欺骗,通常是伪装成为妻子、丈夫、催收员、劫匪、情人、护卫、盗贼、甚至是对立信仰的神职人员,来帮一些奸诈之徒欺骗他人。当不执着于这些黑暗目的时,大多数蕾拉教派神职人员都选择她们可以“不戴面具”即可扮演的可选人物或角色来欺骗他人,来骗取钱财和自娱自乐(尽管该教会的宗旨是:那些被她们洗劫之人在之后得到蕾拉教徒的帮助以弥补损失)。
Clergy of Leira spread false rumors—and if they can, create illusions—in return for fees. They are charged with the task of making folk everywhere doubt truth by encouraging (and then revealing) false beliefs, setting up hoaxes, and the like. Leirans are masters of disguise and rent or sell costumes and (for stiff fees) apply makeup for everyone who desires it (usually folk in some trouble). They also aid others in deceptions by acting as actors-for-hire, often pretending to be wives, husbands, collection agents, brigands, paramours, escorts, thieves, or even clergy members of rival faiths as they assist some less-than-honest person in working a deceit on others. When not bent on such dark purposes, most Leiran clergy members work on alternative personas or roles they can adopt "out of mask" to work swindles on others, enriching and entertaining themselves (though it is a tenet of the church that someone they rob must later be aided by Leiran hands to make up for the loss).
圣日/重要仪式Holy Days/Important Ceremonies:
蕾拉教徒在每天的清晨与月夜面朝下趴在地上向女士祈祷。每当起雾时,她们都会前往雾中漫步,吟诵对蕾拉的赞美、与女神交谈(据说女神有时会在周遭的迷雾中低声作答)。如果被分配到了神殿中,她们还会每天在蕾拉祭坛举行简短的仪式,让希望安抚蕾拉的世俗信徒献上贡品,聆听并引导世俗信徒的祈祷。在任何情况下,对蕾拉的正式礼拜都包括面向她的带角祭坛,跪着祈祷、站着吟唱赞美诗和圣歌,这些祭坛上翘的臂架上方除了空气别无他物。
Leirans lie face-down on the ground and pray to the Lady every morning and on every moonlit night. They go walking whenever they encounter fogs or mists to chant praises to Leira and speak with the Lady (who is said to sometimes answer as an echoing whisper out of the surrounding mists). They also hold brief ceremonies at altars of Leira (when assigned to a temple) on a daily basis to allow nonbelievers who wish to appease Leira's caprices to make offerings and to hear and guide the prayers of lay worshipers. In all cases, formal worship of Leira consists of kneeling prayers and standing hymns and chants made while facing her horned altars whose upswept arms frame only empty air.
蕾拉最神圣的典礼是 揭面典礼the Unmasking 和 祈愿典礼the Invocation。揭面典礼是初修士加入祭职者队伍、祭司升阶、或是某位祭司因忽视了她们的信仰(比如说了真话)而忏悔时举行的净化仪式。在这一仪式中,在倒影池与镜子之间,裸面的祈求者走在祭司的队列中,手中举着已点燃的高蜡烛。当祈愿典礼在寻求女士的直接指引时举行,在典礼期间吟唱的祭司们会挥舞香炉制造浓烟,这样她就可以出现在隐藏的中心与她们交谈。
The most holy rituals of Leira are the Unmasking, and the Invocation. The Unmasking is performed as purification by novices entering the priesthood, priests rising in rank, or priests doing penance for slighting their faith (telling the truth too often, for example). In this ritual, the bare-faced supplicant walks down ranks of priests holding tall lit candles between reflecting pools of water and mirrors. The Invocation is held when the Lady is called upon directly for guidance, and during this ceremony chanting priests swing censers to make thick smoke so that She may appear in the heart of its concealment and speak to them.
蕾拉教徒每年会在不同地点和略有不同的时间聚集起来举行六次 秘密会议Conclaves;时间与地点的消息将在整个祭职者团体中悄然传播,但不会被透露给外人。据信,根据圣令,在这样的集会上说的将只有真话,神职人员们利用这一机会分享信息、允许成员在神殿之间流动、并允许教会长老们就该信仰应承担的最重要使命进行投票。
Leirans gather for six Conclaves every year at different places and slightly different times; word of where and when spreads quietly throughout the priesthood, but it is not revealed to outsiders. It is believed that by holy writ only truth is spoken at such gatherings and that the clergy members use such occasions to share information, to allow members to transfer from temple to temple, and to permit church elders to vote on the most important missions the faith should undertake.
主要崇拜中心Major Centers of Worship:
蕾拉混乱、无组织、无上下尊卑的祭职者中最有影响力的神殿是 普莱斯珀城Presper 的 迷雾堡the Mistkeep,由 幻术大师杜尔丁博德·阿拉肯Illusionmaster Duldinbold Alarkyn 主持。这处圣邸的标志是它的 烟之柱Pillars of Smoke(在蕾拉教徒中的俚语名是“大烟管the Pipepillars”),它收藏了 费伦大陆Faerûn 最大也最有价值的魔法物品收藏品之一——当然,全部都被藏匿起来,并以各种巧妙的方式加以保护。迷雾堡的神殿祭司为左右周围土地上的政治事件、以及寻找更多魔法物品的探险中,以谨慎、微妙的方式利用这些强大物品。她们还会制作面具和法衣,并出售给其他蕾拉教徒,据传,粗鲁、衰老的侏儒幻术师(现为祭司)杜尔丁博尔Duldinbold 亲自教授了如何制作能释放 幻术之母the Mother of Illusionists 本尊强大战斗魔法的附魔搭肩衫和面具。传言 迷雾女士the Lady of the Mists 是传说中的 宁布拉岛Nimbral 的国教。
The most influential temple in the chaotic, unorganized, rank-ignoring priesthood of Leira is the Mistkeep in Presper, which is presided over by Illusionmaster Duldinbold Alarkyn. This holy house is marked by its Pillars of Smoke (a slang name for it among Leirans is "the Pipepillars"), and it houses one of the largest and most valuable collections of magical items in Faerûn—all hidden away and guarded in various ingenious ways, of course. The Mistkeep's temple priests use these things of power in careful, subtle ways to sway political events in the lands around and in expeditions in search of yet more magical items. They also make and sell masks and vestments to other Leirans, and the gruff, aging gnome illusionist (now priest) Duldinbold is rumored to have been personally taught the ways of making enchanted tabard and masks that can emit powerful battle magic by the Mother of Illusionists herself. Rumor also has it that the state religion of legendary Nimbral is that of the Lady of the Mists.
从属组织Affiliated Orders:
蕾拉教会没有已知的从属骑士团,不过曾经,在连续的几十天时间里它一会宣称自己有许多骑士团(并为它们取了大量的名字),一会又说没有骑士团,隔几天又说自己控制着所有骑士团的一切。由于她们接二连三的谎言,所以我们无从判断蕾拉教会可能与什么或者谁结盟,也无从判断它是否有什么实际存在的(而非虚构的)荣誉组织。<br /。
The church of Leira has no known affiliated knightly orders, although on successive tendays it claims to have many (making up all sorts of grand names for them), to have none, and to control them all. It is impossible to tell what or who the church of Leira may be allied with through their barrage of lies, and whether it has any actual (as opposed to made-up) honorary orders is likewise impossible to discern.
祭司的祭服Priestly Vestments:
蕾拉教派神职人员着装千篇一律:身着一袭带帽流苏长袍,袍色从黄褐色到赭色,内衬以绿色条纹,并系着相同材质的腰带,她们还戴着手套和独特的光滑镀银玻璃面具。这些面具完全覆盖了面部,一直突出到下巴以下以便可以正常呼吸,佩戴者可以透过面具正常视物(然后很模糊)。这些银面具可以反射凝视攻击,与此同时佩戴者仍可以透过面具发起凝视,因此在遇到某种东西的凝视时,佩戴者在抵御凝视攻击或效果时,将获得+3的豁免奖励。憎恶镜子的吸血鬼们会尽可能地杀死蕾拉教祭司。
Leiran clergy members all dress alike: in long, cowled, bottom-fringed robes of russet to ochre, lined and streaked with green, tied with sashes of the same material, and worn with gloves and distinctive smooth, silvered glass masks. These masks entirely cover the face, projecting out below the chin to allow normal breathing, and their wearers can see normally (if dimly) through them. These silver masks reflect gaze attacks, and although their wearers may still gaze through them and so still may meet something's gaze, they give their wearers a +3 bonus to their saving throws against gaze attacks or effects. Vampires, who hate mirrors, seek to slay Leiran priests whenever possible.
蕾拉教派的银面具是有色的:清晨戴红镜,日出后戴蓝镜,黄昏戴铁锈色,夜幕后戴灰色。在最神圣的仪式上则要佩戴与袍色相同绿镜子。
Leiran silver masks are tinted: Red is worn in the morning, blue after highsun, rust at dusk, and gray after the full darkness of night comes. The most holy rituals call for a mask of the same green hue as the robes.
所有神职人员都被教导如何制作镀银面具(这是一项需要非常的灵巧与耐心的工作),除了日常使用的外,她们往往还有好几套备份(藏在软垫旅行箱中)。富有的蕾拉教派牧师通常会雇佣法师施展 玻璃钢glassteel 法术在面具上,以消除对镜面破损的担忧。
All clergy are taught to make the silvered masks (a difficult task requiring much dexterity and patience), and they tend to have several sets (hidden in well-padded traveling cases) in addition to their everyday set. A wealthy Leiran cleric will often hire a wizard to cast glassteel spells on his or her masks just to be rid of worries about breakage.
没有戴银面具的祭司会戴纱布头巾。每件长袍都有一条缝在兜帽里的头巾,另有一条则藏在隐藏的内口袋中,以备手头的不时之需。尽管裸面并非什么罪愆,但蕾拉神职人员们在她们的长袍或住所令非信徒意识到了她们的信仰与职业时,对不露出脸相当偏执:许多蕾拉祭司在沐浴和爱爱时仍然(且仅仅)戴着她们的面具!
{sp|sp = A priest caught without a silver mask will wear a gauze headsack. Every robe has one sewn into the cowl and another in a concealed inner pocket to be sure that a supply is always near at hand. Although it is no sin to go barefaced, Leiran clergy members are usually paranoid about showing their faces in public when their robes or residency make nonbelievers aware of their faith and profession: Many a priest of Leira has bathed or entertained private company while stubbornly still wearing (only) his or her mask!}}
冒险装束Adventuring Garb:
在旅行时,蕾拉教徒有时会采用不同的身份、并根据身份着装,不过大多数时候,她们都会穿着仪式长袍戴着银面具。袍子之上覆盖着装饰着绿色宝石扣子的赤褐色斗篷。这些斗篷是 移位斗篷,这些宝石则是有色玻璃,它们可以被滑动的一边,露出锁扣里的小暗格,祭司们通常会在里面存放宝石、魔法戒指或睡眠气体瓶。这种气体是蕾拉神职人员最喜欢的武器。如果取下塞子,它大约可以在5轮之内填满约20立方呎的体积,它也可以被倒在布上,然后敷在受害者的鼻子和嘴巴上。在任何一种情况下,接触到它的受害者都必须在接触期间的每一轮进行一次成功的对抗毒素豁免检定,否则将陷入沉睡(如同 睡眠术sleep 法术)。它将在填充的立方体区域或倒在布上后10分钟内消散或蒸发。
When traveling, Leiran sometimes adopt alternate identities and dress as these types of people would, but most often they wear their ceremonial robes and silver mask. The robes are covered by russet cloaks with green gemstone-adorned clasps. These cloaks are cloaks of displacement and the "gemstones" are tinted glass shapes that can be slid aside to reveal a small hiding place in the locket-clasp where priests typically store gems, magical rings, or vials of sleep gas. This gas is a favorite weapon of Leiran clergy. It fills a roughly 20-foot-cubic volume in about five rounds if the stopper is left off the vial, or it can be poured onto a cloth and applied to a victim's nose and mouth. In either case, victims exposed to it must make a successful saving throw vs. poison or fall asleep (as in a sleep spell) every round they are exposed to it. It disperses or evaporates in 10 minutes after filling the cubic area of effect or being poured onto the cloth.

❖侏儒可以成为唤雾者,不过在他们的社会中,践行这条人生之路的侏儒会承受很大的文化压力。
❖Gnomes may be mistcallers, though the cultural peer pressure against gnomes walking such a life path is very strong in their society.
❖从2级开始,除了祭司法术外,唤雾者还能施展幻术/幻象法师学派的法术。唤雾者如实际等级一半(向下取整)的巫师施展这些法术。举例来说,3级唤雾者如同1级巫师那样施展幻术/幻象学派法术,并且只能获得1级法师可用等级的幻术/幻象学派的法术。
❖Mistcallers, starting at 2nd level, may cast illusion/phantasm wizard school spells in addition to priest spells. Mistcallers cast these as mages of half their actual level (drop fractions). For example, a 3rd-level mistcaller casts illusion/phantasm school spells as a 1st-level mage and can only gain those levels of illusion/phantasm school spells that are available to a 1st-level mage.
唤雾者会祈祷、而非学习记忆这些幻术/幻象学派法术,所选中的幻术/幻象学派法术将取代当日可用的牧师法术。(换句话说,幻术/幻象学派法术将占用祭司法术槽。)因此,唤雾者无法施展8~9级幻术/幻象法术。
Mistcallers pray for their illusion/phantasm school spells instead of studying to memorize them, and chosen illusion/phantasm school spells replace clerical spells potentially available for use that day. (In other words, the illusion/phantasm school spell occupies a priest spell slot.) Because of this, mistcallers may never cast 8th- or 9th-level illusion/phantasm spells.
❖唤雾者可以使用某些类型的法师法术卷轴,而不需要 阅读魔法read magic 法术来理解它们。能以这种方式使用的法术必须纯粹是幻术/幻象学派法术。任何将幻术/幻象与其它魔法学派结合的魔法,都不能从卷轴中施放,这是因为唤雾者无法阅读它。如果卷轴包含幻术/幻象法术与其它学派的法术,那么只有幻术/幻象法术可以被唤雾者使用。
❖Mistcallers may use certain types of wizard spells from scrolls without using a read magic spell to comprehend them. Spells which are purely illusion/phantasm school spells may be used in this fashion. Any spell that uses illusion/phantasm magic in conjunction with other magic schools cannot be cast from a scroll because the mistcaller cannot read it. If a scroll contains illusion/phantasm spells along with those of other schools, then only the illusion/phantasm spells may be used by the mistcaller.
❖唤雾者在对抗幻术/幻象法术和类法术能力时豁免检定获得+2奖励。
❖Mistcallers gain a +2 bonus to saving throws vs. illusion/phantasm spells and spell-like abilities.
❖在第3级,每日1次,唤雾者能够施展 无懈谎言impenetrable falsehood(如同2级祭司法术)。
❖At 3rd level, mistcallers are able to cast impenetrable falsehood (as the 2nd-level priest spell) once a day.
❖在第3级,每日1次,唤雾者能够施展 虚幻之力phantasmal force 或 幻音术audible glamer(如同1级法师法术)。
❖At 3rd level, mistcallers are able to cast phantasmal force or audible glamer (as the 1st-level wizard spells) once a day.
❖在第5级,每日1次,唤雾者能够施展 误导术misdirection(如同2级法师法术)。在5级以上每5级,唤雾者可以额外施展一道 误导术misdirection。
❖At 5th level, mistcallers are able to cast misdirection (as the 2nd-level wizard spell) once per day. Mistcallers may cast another misdirection for every additional five levels in experience they gain beyond 5th.
❖在第7级,每日1次,唤雾者能够施展 暗影魔法shadow magic(如同5级法师法术)。
❖At 7th level, mistcallers are able to cast shadow magic (as the 5th-level wizard spell) once a day.
❖在第10级,每日1次,唤雾者能够施展 半影魔法dermshadow magic(如同6级法师法术)或 怀疑术disbelief(如同6级祭司法术)。
❖At 10th level, mistcallers are able to cast dermshadow magic (as the 6th-level wizard spell) and disbelief (as the 6th-level priest spell) once a day.
❖在第13级,每日1次,唤雾者能够施展 假象术mislead(如同6级法师法术)。
❖At 13th level, mistcallers are able to cast mislead (as the 6th-level wizard spell) once per day.
❖在第20级,每旬1次,唤雾者能够施展 永恒幻术permanent illusion(如同6级法师法术)。
❖At 20th level, mistcallers are able to create a permanent illusion (as the 6th-level wizard spell) three times a tenday.
❖有一道法术被蕾拉的牧师和唤雾者完全禁止——真视术true seeing 或是用装置使用 真视术true seeing。蕾拉任何使用了这道法术的祭司都将变得不可逆的疯狂(尽管神祇可以逆转这种状态)。这种惩罚不适用于施展这道法术的逆向版本 错误侦测false detection。
❖One spell is completely forbidden to both clerics of Leira and mistcallers—true seeing or devices that use true seeing. Any priest of Leira who uses this spell goes irrevocably insane (though the action of a deity may reverse this state). There is no penalty for casting the reverse of this spell, false detection.

这道法术将使施法者或所触碰的受术者所说的任何谎言都听起来令人信服,并对 侦测谎言detect lie 法术、类似魔法、相关类法术能力、甚至是 提尔Tyr 专属祭司的洞察能力,隐藏所有的谎言。它还将挫败 超感ESP 和其他能揭示谎言的读心魔法或灵能能力,将施法者的真实想法隐藏在这道法术生成的两三个随机想法之后(举例来说,一条记不清的小溪可能在附近的某个地方,下一批苹果在何时能够成熟,还有那位几年前在商店里遇到,上旬正好在拥挤的街道从远处看到的商人的名字)。
This spell makes any untruth spoken by the caster or a touched spell recipient being sound convincing and hides all untruths from a detect lie spell, similar magics, related spelllike abilities, and even the discernment of specialty priests of Tyr. It also foils ESP and other mind-reading magics or psionic abilities that could reveal a lie, hiding true thoughts behind random ruminations on two or three topics mentally chosen by the caster as the spell is cast (for example, the possible whereabouts of a half-remembered stream that must have been somewhere hereabouts, how soon the next apple crop might be ready, and the name of a particular merchant met years ago in a tavern, and seen from afar down a crowded street just a tenday ago).
4th Level
恐怖幻兽Monstrous Illusion

这道法术将把施法者周围的空气塑造成任意泛费伦完全物质的生物。它不能创造具有双位面的存在、或与另一个位面存在有基本连接的生物外形。所选择的怪物形态必须是施法者在之前某个场合直接目睹的生物,且它当时需要活着并醒着,且不能是一个独特存在,比如 泰拉斯奎巨兽tarrasque 或某个特定人类统治者。该形态必须大到足以包围施法者。
This spell transforms the air around the caster into the shape of any wholly physical Faerûnian creature. It cannot create the shapes of creatures having a dual-planar existence or a fundamental connection to another plane of existence, such as most undead creatures. The monster form chosen must be of a creature that the caster has seen directly on some earlier occasion while it was alive and awake, but cannot be a unique being such as the tarrasque or a particular human ruler. The form must also be large enough to encompass the caster.
施法者从内部控制着这种 恐怖幻兽monstrous illusion,可以使用这只生物的普通力量和能力——如果可用的话——但不包括飞行。这只幻象怪物的攻击只造成真实怪物一半的伤害,但幻术也会遮蔽和保护施法者,在 恐怖幻兽monstrous illusion 中,他也只会遭受正常的一半伤害。这道法术可以在任何时候任意结束。
The caster controls this monstrous illusion from within and can use all the normal powers and abilities of the creature except—if applicable—flying. The illusory monster's attacks do only half the damage the real monster would, but the illusion also cloaks and shields the caster, who suffers only half the normal damage from attacks made on him or her while within the monstrous illusion. This spell can be ended at any time at will.

三重面具Triple Mask
(幻术/幻象Illusion/Phantasm,死灵Necromancy)
领域Sphere:死灵Necromantic,保护Protection

持续时间Duration:1 轮/级round/level
施法时间Casting Time:8
影响区域Area of Effect:施法者The caster
豁免检定Saving Throw:特殊Special
这道法术将把施法者的实体和装备传送到超维空间,而在施法者站着的位置留下3个相同的立体图像。这些立体幻术没有智力,不能使用投掷或施展法术,但在其他方面的言行都一如控制它的施法者。这些图像可以携带物品、说话、甚至以施法者的正常零级命中值发起攻击(不包括法术),使用施法者在施展法术时身上的任何装备与武器的非魔法副本。这一图像独立行动,可彼此分开任何距离而不影响 三重面具triple mask 的操作。这道法术经常被想参加危险会议或旅程,又想保持安全距离的施法者。
This spell transports the caster's real body and gear to an extradimensional space and creates three identical, solid images of the caster on the spot where the caster stood. These solid illusions have no intellect and cannot wield or cast magic, but otherwise look and act just like the caster, who controls them all. The images can carry things, speak, and even launch (nonspell) attacks at the caster's normal THACO, employing their nonmagical duplicates of whatever gear and weaponry the caster had on his or her person at the time the spell was cast. The images act independently and can travel any distance apart from each other without affecting the operation of the triple mask. This spell is often used by casters who want to be present at a dangerous meeting or journey but somehow remain safe.
在一轮开始时,施法者必须与其中一个图像接触/链接,并停留在该图像“中”,直至该轮结束;与此同时,另外两幅图像将执行上一轮结束时给出的任何命令。当该轮结束时,施法者可以立即、无声、不可追踪地切换到另一幅图像中。与此同时,施法者可以调换两幅其它两幅图像的顺序。如果施法者不想,则无需进行切换,并且施法者始终可以通过这三个图像的眼睛看、耳朵听(但不能闻道、感觉到或尝到)。
The caster must be in contact with/linked to one of the images at the beginning of a round and stay "in" that image until the end of the round; in the meantime, the other two images carry out any instructions they were given at the end of the preceding round. When the round ends, the caster can instantly, silently, and untraceably switch to another image. At the same time, the caster can alter the orders for the other two images. No switch need be made if the caster does not desire to, and the caster can see and hear (but not smell, feel, or taste) through the eyes and ears of all three images at all times.
当施法者不在图像中时,图像被毁灭不会对施法者造成伤害。一个图像被毁灭不会导致法术结束,也不会明显影响其他两个图像——但如果施法者所连接的图像被破坏,法术将被终止,所有三个图像将会立即消失,施法者会出现在被破坏图像的位置,且施法者将遭受当前每经验值等级1点伤害。
Images that are destroyed when the caster is not in them do the caster no harm. One image's destruction does not end the spell or visibly affect the other two images—but if the image the caster is linked to is destroyed, the spell ends, all three images vanish instantly, the caster appears in the location of the destroyed image, and the caster suffers 1 point of damage for each experience level she or he currently possesses.
在法术被施展时,施法者必须进行身体休克骰。如果失败,施法者将失去知觉,但不会受到其他伤害,并且该法术将在没有生效的情况下被浪费。当法术正常结束时,施法者将在法术期满后返回到任意剩余图像最后所在位置。
When this spell is cast, the caster must make a system shock survival roll. If it fails, the caster falls unconscious but takes no other harm, and the spell is wasted without taking effect. When the spell ends normally, the caster returns to the last position of any of the remaining images when the spell expired.
这道法术的材料成分是三颗豌豆。
